I hope you enjoy!
Carly stormed into Sonny's office. "You no good, dirty bastard! I'll give you a divorce over my dead body!"
"Carly," Jason said, standing and slowly approaching her.
"No, Jay. He can't do this. Look at what he did," she yelled, handing Jason the divorce papers.
"Carly," he said again calmly.
"You know he wants joint physical and legal custody. I couldn't even move or switch daycares without his approval. Which is so like him to want control of everything and everyone around him." Turning to Sonny, she screamed, "How could you do this? Our family was perfect. We had the family we'd always dreamed of. Why?"
Laying the papers on Sonny's desk, Jason slipped out of the office.
Sonny took a breath and began. "Carly, this marriage has been over for a while."
"Virginia- -"
"Was a surprise, a pleasant one, albeit. We stopped trying to have a baby a while ago."
"But you love me," she said confidently.
"Sometimes I do love you."
Carly smiled triumphantly.
"But I'm not in love with you. And other times, I can't stand you. The lies, the half-truths, the games. You go off half-cocked, never listening." Sonny pushed his chair back from his desk.
"Sonny, I can't believe this is still about you not being there for Virginia's birth. I've apologized repeatedly for that. If I had known that I was going to go into labor, I would have never left town," she assured him.
"I asked, no begged you not to go. Laura offered to go in your place. But no, you had to be stubborn and willful, jeopardizing our daughter in the process."
"I would never jeopardize the life of one of my kids," she screeched.
"Carly, you didn't even make it to the hospital in time to have the baby. You had her in some house. Am I still bothered that I missed my daughter's birth? Yes. How do you think I felt getting a call from your guard saying that two days ago you gave birth to our daughter and were on the way home. Your selfishness caused me to miss Nia's birth," he said, trying to control his temper.
"You're going to destroy our family over this?" Carly huffed. "When the next baby comes- -"
"Carly," he sighed, "stop. Be honest for once with yourself. You don't love me anymore. You love being Mrs. Sonny Corinthos, the money, the power, and all that goes along with it, but when was the last time you truly looked in to my eyes and told me you loved me."
She rolled her eyes.
"It's over. Let's divorce quietly and make the transitions as smooth as possible for Michael and Nia."
"Her name is Virginia. And I can't believe in your old age you're turning into a maudlin, sentimental old fool. So just because I didn't shower you with "I love yous," you're going to pull a Mike and abandon your wife and kids."
Sonny froze and his face was impenetrable.
"Sorry, I couldn't coddle you, I was busy raising our kids while you ran your empire," she continued, oblivious to the change in Sonny's demeanor. "I knew I should have never left Jason, he would have never, never done this to me and Michael. He gave up Miss Goody Two Shoes for me. That's how important keeping our family together was to him. He sent pictures daily to Ferncliff so I wouldn't miss a moment of Michael's life. Hell even that loser AJ would have done everything in his power to keep Michael and me, but not the great Sonny Corinthos," Carly said with disgust evident in her voice. "Is this because I'm not like Lily? I won't just stay at home with the kids and never have a life for myself or never question you? Because you knew I wasn't like that when you married me, every time."
Enough, thought Sonny. He grabbed the divorce papers, signed and dated them, completely tuning Carly and her ramblings out. He marched up to Carly, opened her purse, and put the divorce papers inside. "Get out," he said in a deadly calm voice as he escorted her to the door, "sign these papers promptly or the next set will be me suing you for full custody."
"You won't get away with this. Jason won't let you do this," she said confidently.
"Caroline, if you could stop being self-absorbed for two seconds you would know that Jason is having problems of his own."
Carly took a step outside of his office and was ready to let Sonny have it, when he shut his door in her face.
"You won't get away with this," she shouted through the closed door.
Sonny picked up a glass and wanted to hurl it against the wall, but he refrained. It was this same passionate, all consuming anger which led him to sleep with Carly in the first place, and hurt Jason in the process. He wouldn't give in to the rage. Slowly counting to ten, he released his clutch on the glass. Pouring himself a drink, he downed it all in one swallow. How in the world had he even imagined spending the rest of his life with Carly? Man, had he been a sucker. But no more. This madness was coming to end finally.
